Our ministry assists the priest and families in planning funeral liturgies and visitations. We attend and assist with funerals and visitations. We support families and loved ones through the grief process with monthly communication. The ministry coordinates with other liturgical ministries in preparing the liturgy for All Souls Day and prepares the banner listing the names of parishioners who have died in the past year.

The ministry hosts the annual St. Monica Memorial Service for the bereaved of our parish which is held every December.

We meet monthly on the second Saturday of the month. We welcome those who are interested in serving bereaved families or assisting with other activities the ministry offers to contact:

The Scout Ministry have been a large part of St. Monica for over 20 years.  Today, we provide our youth members (boys and girls) with opportunities to learn more life skills that would better prepare them as future leaders.   By using a wide range of fun aged-based indoor and outdoor activities such as camping, aquatics and hiking, scouting will help the youth to build more self-confidence and to be more self-reliant.  Our program is based upon bringing out in every scout the characteristics described in the Scout Law: “A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.”

We offer two programs for boys and girls. The first program is Cub Scouts for youths in grades K-5 and the second program is Scouts BSA for youth ages 11 up to 18.   

You are welcome to visit us during one of our scout meetings or even participate in one of our outdoor activities.

To learn more about Scouts BSA please contact Paul Kovach.

Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.

Troop 564 meets on the 3 rd Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 7:30 at the PMC building.
